VERSE: Isaiah 21:9b–“Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground.”

TRUTH: Isaiah predicts the fall of the powerful nation of Babylon. Why? They trusted in something besides God. So, God will allow everything they trusted in to be destroyed. God desires that we trust in Him and He will ultimately remove any distraction or idol we create for ourselves and will show His power over it.

RESPONSE: Lord, You have all power and might. I repent for placing my trust in anything besides You. Thank You for Your forgiveness and fill me with Your presence so I am not tempted to look to anything except You.
